It’s a long race. The distance is always a factor.

I don't remember whether it was online or on TV, but ever since I saw photos of the two dead horses in May after a race, I cannot watch any horse race anymore.  They just collapsed and died.

Actually, hundreds of beautiful race horses die each year, and some jockeys do also.  It is not a benign "sport," it is a gambling event.

I am not going to bet on it.  The other races were shorter and for the mudders, so this long race and hopefully no mud?  Not gonna bet on it!  A lot depends on how he breaks and the skill of the jock!

I think he will win it all.  So far, so good.  A beautiful horse.

I'm really hoping for Mike Smith to get his Triple Crown. I'm just playing exactas to cover my bases.

I've spent enough years in the stands at Belmont hoping to see a Triple Crown win to know how fast that hope can be over. But I'm not there this year so that puts Justify's chances way way up there!

I’m not sure Justify can hang on considering the distance.  I hope he wins, though.  Those horses are just the most beautiful creatures!  I’m watching the Belmont coverage and I just told my fat cat, that is currently snoozing in my lap, that he ought to go race with those horses!  Yes, I know...got to get a life....

I love to see a Triple Crown and he is beautiful.   

But, I'm pretty opposed to horse racing.  I know they are bred for it and all of that but I just don't like everything that goes into it.

@jackthebear Justify's future of comfortable luxury as a multimillion dollar stud was set after winning the Kentucky Derby.

I guess that's true

but maybe more comfy after the triple??
